ABSTRACT
This report is an introduction to the Tic Tac Toe
game in C programming. Anybody, who doesn’t
know even the basics of Tic Tac Toe in C ,will be
certainly able to understand and gain the great
knowledge from this report. The core theme of the
report focuses on the development of Tic Tac Toe
game in C language. The report also contains the
strategy of making Tic Tac Toe game which serve a
good idea to make a Tic Tac Toe game program in
C language to the programmer . The most of the
idea of making this game and report is taken from “
Let Us C - by Yashwant Kanetkar’’ , Schaum’s
Outline-C(TMH publications), and Internet
(Wikipedia ,Google etc.)

 INTRODUCTION
Tic-tac-toe is not a very challenging game for
human beings. If you’re an enthusiast, you’ve
probably moved from the basic game to some
variant like three dimensional tic-tac-toe on a
larger grid. If you sit down right now to play
ordinary three-by-three tic-tac-toe with a friend,
what will probably happen is that every game
will come out a tie. Both you and your friend
can probably play perfectly, never making a
mistake that would allow your opponent to win.
But can you describe how you know where to
move each turn? Most of the time, you probably
aren’t even aware of alternative possibilities;
you just look at the board and instantly know
where you want to move. That kind of instant
knowledge is great for human beings, because
it makes you a fast player. But it isn’t much help
in writing a computer program. For that, you
have to know very explicitly what your strategy
is.
 Hardware AND
Software Used
Microsoft visual studio code IDE
Windows 10 (64 bit)
Processor-Amd Ryzen 4600HS
Ram-8 gb
C programming language
 IMPORTANT
THINGS USED
There are two important functions used in
this project:-
Board()
This function is used to draw tic tac toe
board on console and show player’s mark
i.e (X or O) and empty places with
numbers on them like this
Board Function Body
void board()
{
system("cls");
printf("\n\n\tTic Tac Toe\n\n");

printf("Player 1 (X) - Player 2 (O)\n\n\n");

printf(" | | \n");
printf(" %c | %c | %c \n", square[1], square[2],
square[3]);

printf("_____|_____|_____\n");
printf(" | | \n");

printf(" %c | %c | %c \n", square[4], square[5],

square[6]);

printf("_____|_____|_____\n");
printf(" | | \n");

printf(" %c | %c | %c \n", square[7], square[8],

square[9]);

printf(" | | \n\n");
}
CHECKWIN()
This function returns the game status i.e
whether the game of tic tac toe is in
progress(returns -1) or the game is finished
with a player’s win(returns 1)

(else) the game is draw.

Checkwin Function Body

int checkwin()
{
if (square[1] == square[2] && square[2] == square[3])
return 1;
else if (square[4] == square[5] && square[5] == square[6])
return 1;
else if (square[7] == square[8] && square[8] == square[9])
return 1;
else if (square[1] == square[4] && square[4] == square[7])
return 1;
else if (square[2] == square[5] && square[5] == square[8])
return 1;
else if (square[3] == square[6] && square[6] == square[9])
return 1;
else if (square[1] == square[5] && square[5] == square[9])
return 1;
else if (square[3] == square[5] && square[5] == square[7])
return 1;
else
return - 1;
}

Square[10] Array
 This array is used to show entries done by players
as well as position of empty space present in tic
tac toe board during game.
Its size is 10 to avoid confusing while writing the
conditions in the checkwin function so that at index
i , character i can be stored.

char square[10] = { 'o', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9' };

Do while loop
This loop is used to
 interchange the turn of players
 enter X or O
 check whether the player is doing a valid
move

Do while loop Body

do
{
board();
player = (player % 2) ? 1 : 2;

printf("Player %d, enter a number: ", player);

scanf("%d", &choice);

mark = (player == 1) ? 'X' : 'O';

if (choice == 1 && square[1] == '1')

square[1] = mark;

else if (choice == 2 && square[2] == '2')

 square[2] = mark;

else if (choice == 3 && square[3] == '3')

square[3] = mark;

else if (choice == 4 && square[4] == '4')

square[4] = mark;

else if (choice == 5 && square[5] == '5')

square[5] = mark;

else if (choice == 6 && square[6] == '6')

square[6] = mark;

else if (choice == 7 && square[7] == '7')

square[7] = mark;

else if (choice == 8 && square[8] == '8')

square[8] = mark;

else if (choice == 9 && square[9] == '9')

square[9] = mark;

else
{
printf("Invalid move ");

player--;
count--;
getch();
}
i = checkwin();

player++;
count++;

}while (i == - 1&&count<=8);

CONCLUSION
This project is good for beginners to
understand various concept’s of c
programming language and also about
tic tac toe.
